UPDATE - January 2020: The planning application has been withdrawn!!! We do not have all the details yet as to why this has been withdrawn. UPDATE May 2019: we are still waiting for this application to be discussed at the East Oxford Area Planning Committee meeting, this campaign is still alive! We need as much support as we can muster to attend that meeting. We will find out a week before the meeting if it is on the agenda and I will notify supporters by email; hopefully, lots of people can make it to the public meeting to demonstrate our disapproval in person! Lets not give up the fight! A planning application has been submitted for a new build development that would provide 9 apartments (in a mix of 1, 2 and 3 beds) in a 21⁄2 storey building and 22 parking spaces. The proposed plan would also require an access road to be built at the end of Lewis close and along the boundary of the C.S Lewis Nature Reserve run by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust. I spent my childhood playing in the C.S Lewis reserve and now bring my own children there to explore the wonders it holds. It truly is a magical place and C.S. Lewis based his writings about Narnia on it, although back then it was his back garden! The reserve comprises mature woodland slopes and two ponds. The larger pond is noted for spawning toads and giant horsetail surrounding it. The nature reserve and surrounding area currently supports birds, reptiles, badgers and roosting bats among other wildlife. The area is also suitable for protected species such as Great Crested Newts which have been spotted in the area. The proposed development and access road will create noise, light, dust pollution and many more negative impacts on the environment and wildlife. A preliminary ecological appraisal has been undertaken and although does cover some of the impacts on the potential wildlife others have been omitted. The report does make some suggestions to mitigate the impact such as a protective, closed fencing around the development area, a review of the design to ensure no light spill or disturbance post development, undertaking work outside the main bird nesting season etc. However I strongly feel that despite these measures to mitigate the impact the development will still have a detrimental effect the area and wildlife. One persons objection on the oxford city council planning webpage for this development also points out that a close solid fence could actually compound the danger to the animals. Lewis close leading up to the reserve is peaceful and quiet and safe for the many children that use it to access the reserve. It is such a wonderful place and the access road and property development that is planned to run along it will no doubt pollute the lake, increase the traffic making it unsafe for pedestrians and spoil this place of amazing magic and beauty. This area is of national and historical significance and should be preserved for generations to come. The nature reserve and the adjacent Lewis Close is peaceful and quiet. Many residents and visitors go there for the peace, tranquility and the inspiration it offers. The nature reserve and the house that C.S. Lewis lived in is of huge literary and historical importance and would be spoiled by this development. I felt strongly that this development should not go ahead and decided to start this 38 degrees campaign. Please help me to stop this development from happening so future generations can continue to be inspired by its wildlife and wonder.

These simple changes will have a significant impact on the safety of school children in the area and will prevent serious injury or death of a child. This area is in close proximity to three schools (Arnold Mill Primary school, Redhill Academy and Arnbrook Primary School) and a large number of children use the Mansfield Road junction and Cross street to get to and from school every day. The need for road safety is further strengthened because of recent serious road traffic incidents in this area that were reported in the media. In addition to this we have collected substantial anecdotal evidence of road incidents/near misses that have happened in the area as a result of inadequate safety measures.

This is important because it is dangerous and could be the cause of a dangerous accident and also a great noise disturbance.

Newtown Powys is having a bypass built and the Roberts family have had their home BLIGHTED due to how close the bypass will be once it's built. The property has not been valued correctly and has led to it being undervalued and a very poor settlement being offer. (The family have got an independent local company to value it and it shows that the land agents valuation is extremely low) The family are not asking for anything other than a true valuation of the home. All they are asking is to be treated fair.

The fundamental mistake made by planners, at all levels, is that they assume that residential accommodation is automatically, a house. There is so much empty office space in all towns, large and small, which, if handed over to be used for residential use, would provide so much housing, usually without too much work required. Some towns are doing this, but it needs to be a national scheme. This, more often than not, is in town centres and if empty buildings could be converted for housing, thousands of people would become residents of towns that often need reviving. The residents would not need to commute by car to work, would use shops in the towns and contribute to the towns` economies as well as the Local Authorities through Council Tax.

Alice Park has very special qualities that are enjoyed by many generations. We recognise that improvement is required and support inclusive developments such as: Installation of an all weather perimeter track. Upgrading of children's play area. Renovation of the tennis courts with one being converted into a multi-sport court for basketball, netball and badminton. Creation of an adventure/wild play area. Installation of an outdoor gym. Repair and maintenance of existing facilities. Restoring and refreshing of flower beds, ponds and gardens.

The Government should not interfere, alter, or ride roughshod over the duly elected officials who are there by the people's will.

To feel safe when walking through the alley. It's so dark you can't even see where your going - this is for most nights. Recent news of people dressing up as clowns to hurt and/or frighten people is an added worry in such a dark alleyway. Personally, I don't feel safe walking down that alleyway, but my neighbours and I live there and that is the only access route to our homes. Which ever end of the alleyway you use, it is still pitch black for the majority of it.

This application conflicts with the Local Plan. The development of 10 and 7 storey blocks with 328 residential units and a 64 room hotel is too dense for this area. 1. The development is too high - it is out of keeping with the area which comprises quiet residential streets of mainly semi and detached homes. It will impact on the views for many in neighbouring streets 2. There will be a huge increase in the traffic on the Cockosters Road (A111) which is already over capacity and unable to cope with the existing traffic both from the North and South as it is the main link to the M25 motorway. 3. Increase in pollution 4. Noise nuisance 5. Strain on existing community facilities, in particular doctors and dentists 6. Strain on local schools which are all already oversubscribed even before the Bolingbrook development fully opens.

this is a small village green with a two way traffic flow all round it. massive parking problems, the bus causing gridlock, tempers frayed etc. make it one way, all problems sorted.

It is important for the safety and well being of horses and riders.
